香港, 2025年12月11日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - 工业供应链数智化领航者京东工业（7618.HK）近期完成招股，预期于12月11日登陆港交所，成为京东生态旗下第 6 家上市公司，开启对接全球资本的新征程。暗盘阶段，公司股价波动不大较为稳定，不过笔者认为，暗盘作为新股上市前的「预演场」，其价格受制于有限的流动性、短期情绪及部分套利资金行为，往往不能完全反映一家公司的内在价值与长期潜力。对于京东工业这样一家扎根于中国庞大工业腹地、已构建起深厚护城河的产业领导者而言，短暂的暗盘「微震」，或许正是投资者摒弃噪音、聚焦其核心价值的绝佳时机。行业龙头地位稳固 万亿赛道红利尽显当前，中国工业供应链正处在数字化转型的关键拐点。据灼识咨询预测，2024年中国工业供应链技术与服务市场规模为 0.7万亿元，预计到2029年达到 1.1 万亿元，2024-2029 年复合增长率高达9.8%。随着工业企业降本增效需求的日益迫切，中国工业供应链市场数字化渗透率仍有巨大提升空间。在这一蓝海市场，京东工业早已占据行业金字塔尖的核心位置，无疑将成为这一趋势的最大受益者。其通过「太璞」这一「数」、「实」结合的全链路数智化工业供应链解决方案，推动工业供应链的数字化转型，助力客户实现保供、降本、增效及合规。按 2024 年交易额计算，公司稳居中国工业供应链技术与服务市场榜首。在竞争更为激烈的 MRO 采购服务领域，其龙头地位同样无可撼动，2024年交易额为第二名的近三倍。在高度分散、传统冗长的工业供应链领域，这一市场份额和领先优势的建立，本身就证明了其模式的有效性和强大的客户认可度。供给端，截至2025年上半年底，京东工业已整合 15.8 万家供货商，构建起覆盖 80 个产品类别的超 8110 万 SKU 庞大供给体系。客户端，截至2025年6月底的过去12个月，京东工业服务着约 1.11 万重点企业客户，更囊括了 60% 的中国 《财富》 500 强和 40% 的在华全球《财富》500 强企业，广泛的客户基础构筑了稳定的增长基本盘。数智化三重壁垒 打造稳固竞争优势如果说行业地位是京东工业的「硬名片」，那么数智化供应链体系就是其最深的「护城河」。京东工业的「太璞」解决方案，深入客户采购战略规划、供货商管理、履约运营乃至合规管控等各个环节。它不仅提供商品，更提供采购咨询、交易平台服务、广告服务等技术与服务。这种深度赋能，使其从赚取商品差价的「贸易商」，转型为说明客户优化整体供应链效率、节省综合成本的「合作伙伴」，商业模式的层次和利润空间更为丰厚。轻资产运营模式更让公司实现了规模与利润的双赢。通过数智化连结终端需求与供应端产能，部分订单直接由供货商发货，既整合了第三方履约能力，又减少了物流资产投入。这一模式推动公司盈利快速改善，从 2022 年的经调整净利润约 7.1亿元，到 2023 年8.2亿元，再到2024 年增长至 9.1亿元，2025 年上半年经调整净利润同比再增 34%，达到5.0亿元，经调整净利率同比增加0.5个百分点，盈利能力持续提升。与此同时，京东工业正以技术与业务双轮驱动拓展增长边界，在技术端，持续迭代工业大模型应用，深度赋能商品治理、需求预测等关键环节，进一步强化端到端智能解决方案能力；在国际业务方面，依托现有资源优势，积极拓展海外市场，复制国内成熟数智化供应链模式，对接全球工业资源构建跨境服务网络，挖掘万亿级跨境工业供应链服务潜力。从行业发展趋势来看，工业供应链的数字化、智慧化是不可逆转的潮流。京东工业在万亿赛道的龙头地位、数智化构建的核心壁垒、持续改善的盈利质量，以及背后中国工业供应链转型升级的时代红利，共同构成了其长期投资价值的坚实基础。随着公司上市后业务的持续推进与价值的逐步兑现，市场终将重新认知这家工业供应链巨头的成长潜力。 Copyright 2025 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

THE HAGUE, NETHERLANDS, Dec 10, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The Global Anti-Scam Alliance (GASA) is pleased to announce that Nasdaq Verafin has joined GASA as a Foundation Member, strengthening the global effort to combat scams, financial crime, and digital fraud. As fraud tactics continue to evolve across borders and digital channels, cross-sector collaboration has become essential to protecting consumers and building safer financial ecosystems.Nasdaq Verafin's participation marks a meaningful step forward in the shared mission to advance trust, transparency, and resilience across the globe. In addition to joining the global effort, Nasdaq Verafin will join both the Brazil and Mexico chapters of GASA to partner with stakeholders across the financial ecosystem in Latin America, bolstering regional initiatives to combat financial crime."Criminals are innovating at an unprecedented rate, taking advantage of information siloes and the shortcomings of legacy technology to avoid detection. We are at an inflection point in the fight against financial crime, one that requires the entire ecosystem to come together, leveraging the power of collective intelligence to strengthen our defenses and better protect consumers around the globe. We look forward to partnering closely with the Global Anti-Scam Alliance to share innovative solutions, intelligence, and global expertise to the unique challenges financial institutions in Brazil and Mexico face," said Mauriceo Castanheiro, Head of International Payments Fraud at Nasdaq Verafin.Nasdaq Verafin is a global leader in financial crime management technology solutions, trusted by more than 2,700 financial institutions around the globe. The company's innovative approach combines consortium data, AI, and machine learning to deter, detect, and prevent criminal activity.

Their deep expertise in leveraging technology to more efficiently and effectively detect criminal activity brings a new level of insight and influence to our mission. With Nasdaq Verafin's partnership, and their representatives joining the boards of our Brazil and Mexico Chapters, we are strengthening our ability to connect global knowledge with local action. Together, we can help shape stronger policies, accelerate industry collaboration, and build the foundations of a scam free future." said Jorij Abraham, Managing Director of GASA."The addition of Nasdaq Verafin as a Foundation Member is not only a milestone for the Brazil Chapter, it is a strong endorsement of the relevance of our market and the seriousness of the work we have been building from day one. We are starting our journey already alongside a globally recognized institution known for excellence, innovation, and a deep commitment to integrity. This partnership strengthens our ability to translate global expertise into local impact and accelerates our mission to raise the standard of collaboration in the fight against scams and financial crime in Brazil." said Renata Salvini, Chapter Director for Brazil."With 76 percent of Mexican adults victimized by scams and 139 billion pesos lost annually, according to the 2025 State of Scams in Mexico Report, 2026 will be devastating. AI democratized productivity but industrialized fraud, this isn't a prediction, it's a countdown. Combating this epidemic requires integrated defenses where early detection triggers coordinated action across digital platforms, telecommunications, finance, and authorities. Nasdaq Verafin's addition to GASA Mexico bridges the gap between technology and coordination. Without systemic collaboration, our economic system remains vulnerable. This strengthens our multistakeholder commitment to essential stability", added Sissi de la Peña, Chapter Director for Mexico.Through this partnership, Nasdaq Verafin executives will join the Chapter Advisory Boards of GASA Mexico and Brazil.

BERLIN, Germany, Dec 10, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Treasury Intelligence Solutions (TIS), a leading cloud-based platform for payments and cash management, is future-proofing organizations with specialized translation services in the wake of the recent November 2025 ISO 20022 deadline. A major turning point for the financial industry, SWIFT now requires banks to move their cross-border payment messages to ISO 20022. As a result, treasury teams are already seeing differences in how their banks send and receive payment information. Adapting to these changes will require a strategic approach to modernizing systems and processes.ISO 20022 replaces a patchwork of older standards with a single approach to structuring payment data. The new universal standard is designed to reduce confusion across markets, improve data quality, and support the level of transparency that regulators around the globe now expect.Moving to ISO 20022 payments takes time and strategic vision, especially when legacy systems, ERP, and payment systems were not built with structured data in mind. Updating those requires planning and coordination across several internal teams."ISO 20022 is a major industry shift, but it shouldn't disrupt the way companies operate day-to-day," said Wouter De Bie, Chief Technology Officer at TIS. "Our priority is making this transition seamless. By leveraging our platform's ability to translate payment files into bank-specific formats and automatically populate ISO-required fields, we give treasury teams the flexibility to adapt at their own pace. This approach ensures stability, reduces risk, and empowers organizations to meet new standards without costly system overhauls or last-minute fixes."The TIS platform leverages more than 140,000 bank-specific profiles to provide comprehensive coverage of ISO bank formats. In addition, an innovative AI-powered solution addresses ISO-specific requirements such as structured address information for corporate beneficiaries. Companies that begin now to update their data and payment workflows will be better prepared for the larger changes still ahead. Those that don't may face frustrating problems like message truncation, rejected payments, and slower processing times as unstructured formats are phased out."We're already seeing the benefits of a proactive approach to ISO 20022," said Jon Paquette, Chief of Strategy at TIS. "Organizations using our platform have implemented early bank-driven changes without payment failures or costly rework and are also leveraging our statement format conversion capabilities to avoid disruptions in reconciliation and cash applications as banks sunset MT formats and introduce CAMT. This proves that with the right tools, companies can prepare for full ISO adoption on their own timelines - maintaining stability while meeting evolving standards."About TISTIS helps CFOs, Treasurers, and Finance teams transform their global cash flow, liquidity, and payment functions. Since 2010, our award-winning cloud platform and best-in-class service model have empowered the entire office of the CFO to collaborate more effectively and attain maximum efficiency, automation, and control. TIS enables users to achieve superior performance in key areas surrounding cash forecasting, working capital, outbound payments, financial messaging, fraud prevention, payment compliance, and more.To learn how TIS can support your ISO 20022 transition, contact us today.CONTACT:Blair Romain+496227698240blair.romain@tispayments.comSOURCE: Treasury Intelligence Solutions Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Secondly, the rise of the digital economy has given birth to new legal issues, raising the standards of a firm’s knowledge base and learning agility.

According to Ms. Sun Wen, Director of Global Board of Directors at Beijing Yingke Law Firm, “As the wave of digitalization transforms the legal sector, Yingke has remained focused on advancing through technological innovation and professional excellence. On the journey to evolve our service models through the dual engines of ‘LegalTech + AI’, we are delighted to have China Entercom as a trusted partner. Its profound technical expertise and extensive experience in supporting enterprises going global provide invaluable insight for our strategic development and transformation in this new era.”China Entercom’s best practices in supporting enterprises “Going Global” and “Coming to China” have become a recognized benchmark.

Washington, D.C., Dec 9, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The Family Online Safety Institute (FOSI) released new research today examining how parents and children in the United States and Australia view social media bans for anyone under 16. The findings reveal strong parental support for such bans, in contrast with widespread concern from children who fear losing friendships and support systems that exist primarily online.The research arrives as Australia implements a national under 16 social media ban, placing global attention on how the policy will affect youth and their families. FOSI's study surveyed 4,000 parents and children ages 10 to 17 to understand how both groups feel about restrictions, enforcement, and the broader impact of social media on daily life.Support for the Ban: Parents vs ChildrenParents Support the Ban65% of Australian parents support a national under 16 ban58% of U.S. parents support itChildren Do NotOnly 38% of Australian children support a banOnly 36% of U.S. children support itChildren, who are most directly affected by the restrictions, are less likely to support them. This gap raises a central question for policymakers. Why do parents and children view the potential impact so differently, and what might be lost if children's concerns are overlooked?Connection Concerns: Children Feel the Most at RiskChildren Fear Losing Essential Connections53% of U.S. children fear a ban would disconnect them from important cause them to lose connections and support56% of Australian children feel the sameParents Show Lower Concern35% of U.S. parents36% of Australian parentsFor many children, social media can play a meaningful role in their daily lives, offering a place to stay connected, share experiences, and feel part of a wider community. Losing access to those spaces raises important questions about how young people will continue nurturing the relationships and support system they rely on. This cultural context along with the findings above highlights an emotional dimension of the ban that many parents may underestimate.Families are divided on the mental health impact of a banSome parents support a ban because they hope it will protect children's mental health. However, parents and children disagree on whether this will actually happen. A total of 52% of U.S. parents and 42% of Australian parents agree that a ban will help protect the mental health and well-being of children. Children are less convinced, as only 43% of U.S. and 33% of Australian children hold this view. These mixed views show that families see the mental health conversation as complicated and deeply personal.Screen Time Reduction is Expected but Not GuaranteedParents and children share similar beliefs about whether a social media ban would reduce overall screen time. A total of 55% of U.S. parents and 47% of Australian parents believe screen time would decrease, and nearly half of children in both countries agree. While reducing screen time is one of the most common arguments for the ban, it is important to note that not all screen time is equal. Many children use social media not only for entertainment, but for communication, schoolwork, creativity, and support. Additionally, many children, 64% in the U.S. and 59% in Australia, say they would spend more time on other digital platforms, including video games or text messaging, indicating the total screen time may remain the same.Many believe kids will find a way around the banParents and children are closely aligned when it comes to one concern. More than half of parents believe that children will find ways to circumvent the new restrictions. In the United States, 53% and in Australia, 54% of parents believe their children could work around the ban. When it comes to children ages 10 to 15 (those affected by the Australian ban), 45% of Australian children and 53% of U.S. children claim they could find a way around a ban.These findings reflect a common perception that tech-savvy teens will find ways to bypass age restrictions if motivated to do so.High support for teen accountsOne of the strongest areas of consensus across all four groups is the idea of creating special teen accounts with stronger protections and guardrails. A total of 77% of U.S. parents, 74% of Australian parents, 80% of U.S. children, and 77 % of Australian children support this approach. These findings suggest that families are looking for solutions that prioritize safety without removing social media altogether. The strong support for teen accounts indicates that both parents and children prefer safer, age-appropriate options rather than an outright ban."Children will be the most affected by this ban, yet only one third support it," says Alanna Powers O'Brien, Director of Research and Education at FOSI. "Many are worried about losing friendships and support they rely on every day. Their concerns should not be overlooked. As policies evolve, it is important that we listen to how young people experience the online world and ensure they feel informed, supported, and included in these conversations."For more information and to download the Children and Parents' Perceptions of Social Media and Classroom Smartphone Bans in the U.S. and AustraliaAbout the Family Online Safety InstituteThe Family Online Safety Institute is an international nonprofit organization dedicated to making the online world safer for children and families.

The survey involved 4,000 respondents, evenly split between the United States and Australia, including 1,000 parents and 1,000 children aged 10-17 in each country. Participants qualified if they or their children used the internet for at least three hours weekly. This survey was conducted from October 2nd to October 20th, 2025. No post-hoc weights were applied to this study, and the findings reflect the opinion of survey respondents only.This research is supported by Disney's Digital Wellness Grant Program and TikTok.Media Contact:Family Online Safety Institute (FOSI)Amy Bartkoamy@fosi.org | www.fosi.org | 480-201-6733SOURCE: FOSI Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.
